Thankfully MiniMac is still 2 and isn’t all about the gimme….I think I certainly was growing up. Spoiled brat! And again, not a saint either.

we are teaching him about charity though so hopefully that makes a last impression.

Super cute pics!

We have always used the season to give joy to those less fortunate. Whether it be donating blankets and coats to the coat drive, adopting “angels” off the angel tree, helping out at a local soup kitchen, etc. The kids really get a kick out of it. But they have never lacked, either. I’ve warned them that this year only one gift from Mommy and Daddy and one from Santa. They won’t miss it. Relatives always seem to go overboard even when we ask them not to.

Oh Jenn, could you email me a heads up about next week’s haiku theme. I want to go ahead and schedule my post to go out. I put your reminder challenge in today’s post. Hopefully it will help bring more to the party!

Great idea. Several people I know have stopped exchanging gifts with family members and instead have all put their money together to sponsor a family that can’t afford much for their kids Christmas.
I think next year, I will scale back even more and take the kids Christmas shopping for some other kid – I think they’ll enjoy that..and as long as they get a few cool things under the tree, they’ll be happy. There is such a thing as “too much.”

It’s a hard lesson to teach the kids….especially mine who are all about PRESENTS PRESENTS PRESENTS!!! We’re working on it, though. Oh, and let me know the next time you’re heading to Timmy’s….I’d be more than happy to follow you through the drive-thru :)

Yeah I had a look on the BT website and they don’t have live streaming :( Maybe I’ll get someone to tape it, and then upload it to the website… if I can get that, I’ll let you know, k?

Sounds like your pretty close to a saint though. ;)

I wish I got Breakfast Television. I would love to see you. *sigh*

I hope the kids will enjoy this, but I think right now they rather receive than give. What kid doesn’t? It will come with time and I’m glad you are showing them at an early age that giving means so much. It’s a hard lesson to learn. Sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate this year. :)
